Bonds
"Just now in your dismay
have I broke the bonds you placed on me."
"Now, off the floor and take my hand."
The shimmer took substance and a figure appeared.
I rose off the floor and reached out and touched.
The darkness fled and with it the walls.
"So, open your mind, to what I have to say
Because it's the truth of your existence
and the cause of your dismay."
'Strive for perfection, accept nothing less'
'Make up for what I have done'
'Put yourself to the test'
"Words you say
You're living in the past
a world made of
shadows.
You try to make up for things
that hold no value.
You call yourself unworthy
You see no beauty
You are what you made yourself,
one with mis'ry
You say you are a man
you are but a boy!
You shut the world out
is that your joy?"
'I am unique'
'I need no emotion'
'Destruction's my path'
"Words you have spoken"
"Different you're not, self-pitying
you are.
Open your eyes and see the beauty
Take my hand, be not afraid."
The shimmer took substance and a figure appeared
outstretched was her hand.
The darkness fled, the walls dissolved
a warmness in the touch
a feeling arose.
Shown to me, a world so fair
happiness not sorrow
joy and care.
